Tiffany Butcher-Baker (also Dean and Butcher) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Maisie Smith.[2] Tiffany is the daughter of established characters Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) and Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen), though originally she was believed to be Bianca's daughter with a man named Nathan Dean. Tiffany's surname was changed in the show's credits from Dean to Butcher, which has also been referenced in the show.[3] Tiffany departed, alongside her half-brother Morgan Butcher (Devon Higgs) and their mother Bianca, in September 2014.[4] Tiffany made an unannounced brief return on 3 November 2016 when she and Morgan returned to Walford for Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) and Lee Carter's (Danny Hatchard) wedding.[5]
In November 2017, it was announced that executive consultant John Yorke was to reintroduce the character, with Smith reprising her role as Tiffany full-time. She returned on 8 January 2018.[6][7] Her storylines since her return have included her friendship with Bernadette Taylor (Clair Norris), becoming a drug dealer, being groomed by Evie Steele (Sophia Capasso) and subsequently being raped, and forming a relationship and later marriage with Keegan Baker (Zack Morris). It was announced on 8 October 2021 that Smith would once again be leaving the soap, and her final scenes aired on 14 December 2021. She returned briefly on 17 March 2022 to coincide with Keegan's departure.
